This information was compiled from the Federal and State Census records for Otsego 
County, New York, from 1790 to 1925. There are inevitable errors, some resulting from poor 
quality microfilm images of the census records, others from transcription errors of all 
sorts. Users finding errors of any sort are invited to communicate with Hugh MacDougall, 
so that they can be corrected.

Federal Census for 1800


Note: Non-whites were classified in only two categories in the 1790, 1800, and 1810 
censuses: "other free persons except non-taxed Indians" and "slaves."  No age or sex 
statistics were provided. Names of non-white free persons are  therefore given only 
when the non-white was the head of household -- otherwise non-whites only appear as 
statistics listed in the households of whites. Names of the few non-white household 
heads are shown in bold type.
